Thinking about adopting a pet for Christmas? Adopting from a local shelter is a great place to find your new pet. Cozy up next to your new friend this holiday season with the help of the Hayward Animal Shelter.

The Hayward Animal Shelter volunteers are sponsoring the ÒA Home for the HolidaysÓ adoption event. If you or a loved one is looking for a kitten, cat, puppy, dog, or rabbit, this might be the place for you.

Adoption fees for all pets are $20, with the exception of a license fee for dogs adopted by Hayward residents.
